The ART of organizing resources by Jeroen Mols, Philips Hue EN

This session was given at Paris Android Makers 2017 by Jeroen Mols, Philips Hue.

Whenever we start a new project, we take a lot of care in setting up our architecture, CI, build flavors,… But do you also have a strategy to name your resources?

You should! Because the lack of XML namespaces, makes managing Android resources tedious. And causes things to grow out of control easily, especially in large projects.

So let's introduce a simple scheme that will solve your pains: - easy lookup of any resource (autocomplete) - logical, predictable names - clean ordering of resources - strongly typed resources

This talk will explain the mechanism, its advantages, limitations and provide an easy to use cheat sheet.
